County Limerick

Limerick was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. Covering Limerick city and all of County Limerick, it existed from 1923–1948. It elected seven deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).

History

The constituency was created in 1923, under the Electoral Act 1923, for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann, whose members formed the 4th Dáil. The constituency returned seven Teachtaí Dála.

It succeeded the constituencies of Limerick City–Limerick East and Kerry–Limerick West which were used to elect members to the 2nd and 3rd Dála.

It was abolished under the Electoral Amendment Act 1947, when it was replaced by the two new constituencies of Limerick East and Limerick West.
